Can anyone tell me if they have a text editor up and running on a S60 3rd Ed phone? I have an N93 and have tried to install both EasyEdit and YEdit with no luck - getting messages saying .sis file not supported...

EasyEdit, a Text editor for the Series 60 platform in Python

Whether you simply need a powerful replacement for SMS interface for writing text messages, a tool for editing your messages, EasyEdit is the right freeware software for your S60.

EasyEdit is a friendly text-editor for every S60 platform developed in Python with a lot of features.

EasyEdit current features:

* File browser for opening/saving and more.
* Maintains a list of recently opened/saved files.
* Cut/Copy/Paste.
* Change screen size and font.
* Settings are restored when the program is reopened.
* Set encoding of files read from/written to disk.
* Search within a file.
* Including search for a string forwards/backwards and finding a given line in a file.

Features to come:

* Find and replace.
* Cut/Copy using "ABC" button text selection. This is already implemented by the operating system as well as the clipboard functionality included in the "Edit" menu.
* (?) Line-numbers displayed in status bar
Since it's quite difficult to obtain keypresses from a text() object, I think this will have to be implemented in a separate thread that updates the staus/title bar... appuifw cannot be accessed from a separate thread!
* A proper "help".
(Make "pickle" module work on Python S60 and use it to replace my dictionary parser. )
I've ironed out bugs in the dictionary parser, and I think it's quite suitable for its purpose.

You must have python installed to use this application.

Is this/there a version for 3rd edition? When trying to install on E70 I get "Installation of easyedit_1.31 not supported" :con?
